Transpenine routes and conditions

[DBrent]

Hi!

A few questions to transpenine drivers:
- what routes do you sign in Manchester and Liverpool?
-do you work 4 or 5 days? Is it a flat rate for overtime?
-how much are newly qualified drivers paid? Does it take 3 years to get to full wage?
- how many blocks of holiday do you have? ( 1 winter, 2 summer, 1 autumn, 1 winter)?
-Can you park your car at your station?
Thank you for any info

Is that not what this forum is for?

I’m not sure what the state of play is now but in the old franchise Piccadilly drivers all used to sign York - Lime Street/Airport, including some (but not all) diversions. Those would include (I believe) via Rochdale/Elland, via Chat Moss and the CLC and obviously via Guide Bridge & Ashton, and Ardwick TMD 3 links, 1 link added on York - Scarborough, 1 link added on Micklefield - Hull and 1 link added on Windsor Bridge to Edinburgh via Wigan and also now Bolton. No idea how that’s changed but that’s a guide
Liverpool sign Lime Street to Scarborough plus I think roughly the same diversions.
